What happened to ur twotter?
i deleted it over the summer, i'm afraid. it was a massive time sink and the writing was on the wall as far as the website's direction goes. if people would like to reach me, everyone is welcome to add me on discord at consumer_electronics. i take a while to respond, but i can promise that i do so eventually. i'm setting up my neospring for when retrospring goes down, so people will still be able to reach me that way, too.

APPROXIMATION PLAYLIST MAKER HERE.. thank you so much. You truly inspire me and I mean this truly when I say your writing is my biggest inspiration for the amount of emotions you invoke. When talking with my fiancé, I always am like “yeah I want to write but have you read APPROXIMATION…” forgive my lack of eloquence rn but you are like. My idol I swear (sorry if this is hastily written!!
you flatter me, truly. 😭 this is every writer's dream. i really appreciate you sharing this with me as i slowly venture out of writing retirement (write-irement?). creation tends to be a very solipsistic process for me, and i post my works mostly as a matter of "why not," but feedback like this makes me so grateful that i do so. my only wish is that you use that inspiration to share your writing. your voice will surely resonate with others as well. &heart;

https://on.soundcloud.com/aFSRdrWWi3uvEP8Z6 Aforementioned playlist.. sorry I am a soundcloud user
thank you for this!! your selections are so thoughtful and it never ceases to amaze me that people actually put consideration into the stuff i write. i love the inclusion of lonesome organist rapes page turner and the prominence of vocaloid here (two-faced lovers is so good??). i listened to a lot of kikuo when i was writing approximation, so it tracks, no pun intended. bookmarked, downloaded, cherished, etc. i'm very grateful. <3

Hi ! I made a playlist based off approximation. Do you want to see it?

Hi, hope the final stretch of 2024 is being nice to you (already another year almost gone geez)! Don't have too much to say, but I really love your fics and writing style! I'm going to start hosting the creative writing club at my college next week, and I wanted to use some of your tips and fics as examples of some good and talented stuff for the students. Hope that's alright.
Regardless, hope you're Ok and wishing you the best <33
thank you so much for your kind words, anon. to say that i'm flattered would be an understatement. anyone is free to do whatever they wish with my works with the exception of passing them off as their own. otherwise, they belong to my audience. i'm honored that you would regard my work and thoughts so highly. <3 i hope to one day return to the writing world, although i don't know when that will be. messages like these keep that desire burning though!

hello! i love your writing style and was wondering who some of your favorite authors are?
my apologies for the late response, anon. there aren't many authors from whom i've read multiple works, embarrassingly enough. i know he's out of vogue and has faced rightful criticism, but i still respect the merits of haruki murakami's work, and his writing had a large influence on my own. nabokov is peerless imo; his command of language is the stuff of my envy and set a standard for how i evaluate my own work. i wasn't a huge fan of the great gatsby, but tender is the night is so beautifully written that i also have a great admiration for f. scott fitzgerald's ability.

okay so, i read approximation a while ago and fell in LOVE. long story short im a live audio tech so my natural instinct is to turn anything i love into a podfic or song or what have you. i finally have the time to sit down and make something soooo tldr: can i make an approximation podfic pretty please with a cherry on top?
oh my goodness this is such a wild thing to see after logging in. to this day it is crazy to me that anyone would enjoy my works enough to want to make derivative pieces. like i told the previous anon, you are more than welcome to do anything you’d like with anything i write! i only ask that you share if/when you end up finishing it. thanks so much for reading and for your support, it truly means so much. also, my spouse is an audio tech too—small world!

I don't know if you're perfectly okay with that, but I have all your works downloaded (and honestly I should also print them out lol). They're too important for me to lose and forget about 💌

your works have so much depth and gravity to them. i read "night eats color" last year and to this day, i am still thinking about it. i'm curious about what motivates you to write, and what kind of themes you find yourself drawn to. is writing cathartic to you? i feel like the kind of stories i write are fine but otherwise forgettable, and i'd like to be able to write something that truly speaks to someone one day. something that will stick around like your stories do to me. how do you manage to do it?
thank you kindly, anon. i’m always amazed and flattered when i hear things like that. i write with the expectation that my work will get very little, if any, attention, so it always blows my mind when i hear that my fics are rattling around in people’s minds so long after they’ve read them. i appreciate your readership.
i’ve always been a person who feels very deeply and experiences the world in a more intense way than most. i also find people fascinating, even though i’ve never really felt like a People myself. i’m not sure if either of those things are related to my neurodivergence or simply a dimension of my personality, but i’ve always felt compelled to meld my interest in others and their psychology with my amplified emotions. because i’ve always lived my life on the margins, willingly and unwillingly, i tend to write about people who are marginalized or victimized in some fashion, especially if they’re marginalized in ways that real life society does a poor job of acknowledging. i do find it cathartic and regulating, and i have found that my writing has made me a much more empathetic person over the years.
in terms of actual execution, i find that intellectual curiosity is the most critical component to any resonant writing. never stop asking “why?” and never be content with a facile answer. sometimes there is no satisfactory answer. why would someone abuse an innocent child? why would that child go back to their abuser time and time again? why can’t they break free? these are the questions that guided me as i wrote night eats color. i have a hard time stepping out of myself to understand the precise reason why people seem to be so moved by it, but i like to think the emotional nuance i sought to portray plays a role.
if it’s any comfort, i would say the vast majority of my writing is easily forgettable nonsense. i still enjoy writing those things, and people want to read them!

hard agree on your omegaverse squick. i also find it corny and something about it rubs me the wrong way. it just might be the gender essentialism now that i think about it
we are legion…to be fair, tons of people, especially marginalized people, find a lot of comfort in the way those gender essentialist aspects are explored, and i won’t begrudge them that. i simply am not one of them. i have a fraught relationship with my biology, and having been briefly and unhappily pregnant, omegaverse just makes me want to Run™
